Introduction

The 2008 SELinux Developer Summit is to be held in Ottawa on the 21st or 22nd of July, as an OLS mini-summit. This event has not yet been officially announced.

Event Overview

The SELinux Developer Summit will be a one day summit intended to provide a forum for focused technical discussion regarding current and future development plans for SELinux. The intended audience will consist of current SELinux
developers, system/security administrators, distribution
organizers/packagers, and power users. The format will be a mix of
presentations and moderated discussion, including a panel where
attendees will be invited to submit questions and feedback.

This year's presentations and discussions will be divided into two
categories: usability and infrastructure. General usability of
SELinux systems has consistently improved but, with increasingly wide
adoption of SELinux, also become ever more important. Usability
topics we plan on addressing include policy development,
administration of SELinux enabled systems, and desktop integration
including X11. The core infrastructure topics include embedded
systems, label translation, userspace object managers, network
filesystems, and labeled networking.
